Node Js

Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, and can be run within the Node.js runtime on OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, NonStop and IBM. Node.js provides an event-driven architecture and a non-blocking I/O API that optimizes an application's throughput and scalability. These technologies are commonly used for real-time web applications. Node.js uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine to execute code, and a large percentage of the basic modules are written in JavaScript. Node.js contains a built-in library to allow applications to act as a Web server without software such as Apache HTTP Server or IIS.

Advantages With Promatics:

Rapid-Innovation and Delivery of real time high performance apps

Easy to make changes to apps - With Node.js a group of small applications is developed which enables a change to be made or new functionality to be added without requiring changes to be made deep inside the entire code-base

High productivity - With Node.js it’s possible to merge web and backend teams into one unit which makes things much more efficient.

Node.js apps open the door to a world where full stack developers make life much better by reducing inter-silo dependencies

Our apps built on Node.js use its asynchronous, non-blocking, programming model for lightning-fast speeds and enable the use of JavaScript on the server-side so that both client and server run using the same language.

Promatics is the greatest company I could've asked for to work on my project. They have delivered every step of the project to and above my expectations...

Real time high performance apps

Node.js allows the creation of web servers and networking tools, using JavaScript and a collection of "modules" that handle various core functionalities. Modules handle File system I/O, Networking (HTTP, TCP, UDP, DNS, or TLS/SSL), Binary data (buffers), Cryptography functions, Data streams, and other core functions. Node's modules have a simple and elegant API, reducing the complexity of writing server applications.

Node.js is primarily used to build network programs such as web servers, making it similar to PHP and Python

Node.js operates on a single thread, using non-blocking I/O calls, allowing it to support tens of thousands of concurrent connections without incurring the cost of thread context-switching. The design of sharing a single thread between all the requests means it can be used to build highly concurrent applications. The design goal of a Node.js application is that any function performing I/O must use a callback. The Node.js design makes it best choice for real time high performance apps.

Promatics expertise with Node.js

We have our team of Node.js experts to build real time high performance apps. Our Node.js developers take the responsibility of writing server-side web application logic in JavaScript and/or variants of it, such as CoffeeScript, IcedCoffeeScript, etc. They usually develop back-end components, connect the application with the other (often third-party) web services, and support the front-end developers by integrating their work with the Node.js application. Their responsibilities include Integration of user-facing elements developed by front-end developers with server side logic, writing reusable and efficient code, Implementation of security and data protection. The team has experience on how to scale applications across many database servers. They have worked with Node.js and HTTP and also have experience with XMPP server/client, and peer to peer protocols.
